Sermon Form Class – 1 of 8

Last updated on: December 11, 2016 at 4:26 pm By Sam Alexander

One Major Improvement in Preaching Will Make All the Difference There is one thing, that if preachers would learn to do, it would vastly improve their preaching. Assume for a moment that you have something important to say. You can take that Word and preach a sermon that wanders about until it dribbles off the front of the pulpit. You can also preach a sermon that plants that Word in the heart and mind of a congregation. You can rock their... Read more

It’s to Be Expected

Love in Exile

Last updated on: December 27, 2015 at 3:23 pm By Sam Alexander

I’m hoping to avoid crossing a line here. I don’t want to use this “pulpit” to defend myself, or in this case, a friend. (Happy to do that in a different forum, just not in these sermons.)
